Here’s a report from Jeff Lawson (“Totally Tyee”) posted on the sportfishingbc forum. That pretty much sums up the great fishing Port Renfrew can offer up, super fun!
“Just back from 3 days in Port Renfrew. Day 1 on Swiftsure Bank and loads of spring salmon in the 8-18 LB range. Tomic Spoons did the trick for us and outfished the flashers/hootchie. Day 2 on the beach and lost a couple in the low 20s to a seal at Camper Creek and lost another to a leader issue. Cutpluggers were outfishing Anchovy almost 3-1 but I had no herring. Threw out a large Tomic 602 Spoon out the back (no flasher) to try to mimic the herring in the area and landed a 32LB just off the rockpile. Day 3 back out to the bank and again loads of smaller springs and the coho were thick with a few hatcheries mixed in. Threw the pic down on a hump off Carmanah and landed a 162lb Halibut and a bunch of yellow-eye. Great way to cap the trip off!!”
Good times! Get out to Port Renfrew and get in on the fun.
